Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the efficacy of fluoxetine and citalopram on the improvement of motor function after ischemic stroke
Design
A randomized, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial in 90 patients was used to randomize the random function of Excel software.
Settings and conduct
Giving the patient matched capsules to compare the effectiveness of citalopram and fluoxetine on improving motor function after ischemic stroke, the site of intervention at Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital - a single-blind clinical trial with blind participants
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The study population includes patients who are admitted to Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke. Inclusion criteria include age over 18 - Hemiplegia or hemiparesis after the first ischemic stroke in the last 24 hours. Withdrawal conditions, including patients with ischemic stroke, initially lost consciousness and were admitted to the ICU. The patient has a history of psychiatric disorders. Having movement disorders before stroke, pregnancy and lactation, patients receiving psychiatric medication. Existence of any therapeutic contraindications such as renal failure (GFR) below 30 and impaired liver function tests, hyponatremia, long QT interval. Occurrence of any significant drug side effects during treatment such as restlessness, hypertension or symptoms of serotonin syndrome
Intervention groups
Group A, which consists of 30 people, is treated with fluoxetine, group B, which consists of 30 people, is treated with citalopram, and group C, which is the control group, is treated with placebo. In addition to the standard treatments for ischemic stroke for all three groups.
Main outcome variables
Age - Gender - Blood pressure - Total dose of prescribed drug - Motor score of NIHSS motor scale

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Balanced (permuted) block randomization with a block size of 30 people and three groups ( A,B,C ).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Patients in this study are blind . In this way drugs and placebo are poured into the capsule to match the same size and color, the capsules of each group are poured into cans and given to patients, and the patient is unaware of the type of drug. And the doctor knows what kind of medicine the patient has received (fluoxetine group A, citalopramgroup B, placebo group C ) which is recorded in the patient's demographic information question.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group 1: The first intervention group is group A, which has 30 patients.They are given fluoxetine capsules made by Aria Company at a dose of 20 mg daily for three months, and at the end of the first, second and third months, the rate of subsequent motor function improvement is evaluated in patients based on the NIHSS motor scale and drug side effects.

Treatment - Drugs

2

Description
Intervention group 2: The second group of intervention is group B. The number of patients in this group is 30. The patients are given citalopram tablets made by Sobhan Pharmaceutical company at a dose of 10 mg in the first 10 days and then 20 mg daily ( which are poured into a capsule to be matched with a fluoxetine capsule) for 3 months.The NIHSS motor scale and drug side effect are assessed at the end of the first, second and third months.

Treatment - Drugs

3

Description
Control group: This group is called group C, which has 30 patients. in addition to the standard treatment for ischemic stroke, placebo, which is starch and is poured into a capsule for assimilation with fluoxetine and citalopram, is given to one capsule daily for 3 months. At the end of the first, second and third months, the rate of improvement in motor function is assessed based on the NIHSS movement scale.
